Assistant General Manager 
Hill Country Barbecue Market | New York City 

Hill Country Barbecue Market is one of New York City’s most beloved and acclaimed restaurants—a nationally recognized destination for authentic Central Texas barbecue, live music, and warm, generous hospitality. 

Hill Country is a complex, high-volume operation that depends on strong leadership presence every day. The Assistant General Manager plays a critical role in translating ownership vision and General Manager direction into consistent execution across the restaurant. 

We are seeking an Assistant General Manager who leads with discipline, judgment, and care for both the business and the people within it. 

The Role 

The Assistant General Manager is a senior operational leader responsible for supporting the General Manager in running the day-to-day business. This is a hands-on role that requires broad operational knowledge, strong people leadership, and sound decision-making under pressure. 

A successful AGM understands that their job is to see the whole picture—guest experience, team performance, financial controls, and operational systems—and to step in decisively wherever needed. You are expected to lead from the floor, model standards, and maintain consistency across all shifts. 

You will act as a trusted extension of the General Manager, ensuring continuity of leadership, accountability, and execution in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. 

Responsibilities 

  • Support the General Manager in overseeing daily restaurant operations 

  • Lead shifts across FOH and BOH as needed to ensure smooth execution 

  • Uphold service, culinary, and operational standards consistently 

  • Coach, develop, and hold managers and hourly team members accountable 

  • Support staffing, scheduling, and labor management 

  • Assist with financial oversight including sales performance, labor, and costs 

  • Manage guest experience and service recovery when necessary 

  • Ensure policies, procedures, and systems are followed accurately 

  • Step in as acting General Manager when required 

Qualifications 

  • Prior experience as an Assistant General Manager or equivalent leadership role in full-service dining 

  • Strong operational instincts across both FOH and BOH 

  • Proven ability to lead teams in high-volume, high-expectation environments 

  • Solid understanding of labor management, service standards, and guest experience 

  • Ability to make sound decisions quickly and calmly 

  • Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays as required 

The Mandate 

  • Support the General Manager in protecting what makes Hill Country special 

  • Ensure consistent execution of standards across all shifts 

  • Develop leaders and team members through coaching and accountability 

  • Maintain operational rhythm, discipline, and reliability 

  • Act as a steady, trusted presence for the team 

The Ideal Candidate 

  • Thinks like an operator and problem-solver 

  • Leads with calm authority and fairness 

  • Balances hospitality with operational discipline 

  • Takes ownership without needing the spotlight 

  • Wants to grow into broader leadership responsibility 

Compensation & Benefits 

  • Salaried 

  • Bonus eligibility 

  • Schedule: Availability required Monday–Sunday 

  • Health benefits, paid time off, and growth opportunities 

This role is ideal for a leader ready to take on real responsibility, deepen their operational skill set, and help run a complex, high-performing restaurant.
